escaped? (1)
what classes? (7)
what for? (10 -- I did it for horsemanship and calf-roping, but that was centuries ago in my case. Haven't been on a horse in 20 years).

Escaped. It was a locked youth hostel at the time, but still, a castle at dawn, a locked door, and an unlocked window. And a hell of a drop, because we didn't see the gully right under said window!

Writing for multimedia, Web servers 101. George Washington University CCE.

Pleasure over Fences is the one I remember, I know there was one other. I've passed 20 years horseless (wah!) but my high school had a riding team.

that's a castle at dawn for sure. Betcha the gully was why the window was unlocked...

Your TA classes sound more interesting than mine. (Classical Greek History -- University of Virginia). Teaching was much better than being a TA, but still paid for squat, which is why ah is a technikal writer.

Didn't think there was such thing as pleasure over fences. Been dumped enough out of a saddle, never occurred to me to encourage the effort. (yes, I'm a wuss.)

It's been a long time, but IIRC, Pleasure Over Fences was a jumping competition with pleasure horses instead of hunters.

Yours is the first of these to make me jealous. Bearhugged James Marsters omg! *drool*

[neadods.livejournal.com]

And he gives GOOD hug, too!

This was quite some time ago, at Shore Leave. We were supposed to have one of the main Scooby Gang as a guest, but he cancelled at the last minute. James Marsters was able to sub.

I worked tech staff at the time, which gave me the slight privilege of standing right by the door where the guests entered and exited. When he came offstage on Sunday, I leaned over and told him "Normally I wouldn't be here today, but I came back to see you." And he said "Awww!" and hugged me.

That man is such a sweetie!

You'll probably share TA-ing with several of your readers. Fried pumpkin leaves? They're edible? What do they taste like?

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Very delicate potato chips. Light & salty.

well, I've done #8 and #10... (W/T/C and fences, yellow each and every time.)

And I got ASH-hugs, does that count?

[neadods.livejournal.com]

does that count?

It does for your list.

You taught archery? Where? I was at a resort in Lake George called Silverbay.
